$862.50 for the hawk’s nest is nasty business:
Andrew Swart, a New York-based fan who paid $862.50 on FIFA’s resale site for a Category 1 ticket to the U.S. vs. Australia match in Seattle, said he got assigned a seat in that upper portion of section 146. He, like others who spoke to The Athletic, called FIFA’s offerings “misleading.”
“At a bare minimum, it’s not consistent at all,” Swart said. “When you’re talking about how much money these tickets are, it makes it seem like there’s a big difference between where you may or may not be sitting.”
